Gary Kent pays a visit to another world, another age, a nineteenth century New England village, rebuilt. And he talks about why a town like this embodied freedom - as a key destination for the Underground Railroad.

In a New England village, Gary Kent explores a Civil War that divided countless American families, that scarred countless homes. But he also uncovers remarkably gracious messages---from soldiers on the battlefield. Gary shows why there is a kind of grace that can bring God’s peace to all the civil wars inside us.

Many think that slavery was a terrible thing that haunted the world---ages ago. And yet, there are more slaves in our world today, than at any other time in history. In a New England village of the mid-1800s, Gary Kent finds clues as to how we can best be part of an anti-slavery movement today.

A New England town, re-created from the mid-1800s, actually pictures a higher life, a better life, for people today. Gary Kent shows how America’s most famous authors, and the Transcendentalist Movement, all emerging out of that time and place, give us colorful glimpses of a more elevated mindset. And he shows how the Bible fleshes out that perspective---in the most powerful way.
